WoW 1.6 Patch night - How did yours go?

I can't quite remember all that happened, and its a bit vague and fuzzy... Lots of pain and whatnot.

How was your patch night?

Playing right after a game is patched and then saying it was "troublesome" is like a girl who wears knee highs, a short skirt, and low cut blouse and then wonders why everyone is staring at her.

You are just asking for it.

Obviously everyone knew they were walking into a shit storm... The fact is most people still did it. Some got the first couple of bosses killed, some got 20 second instant spell lag like myself

People who killed the first two bosses just boned themselves. The gate that bugs further progression into the zone is now working properly... IF you kill the second boss today, instead of yesterday.

Everyone who jumped on the boss last night gets a whole week to think about what they've done and wait for their MC instance to recycle. Hurrah.

I patched, clicked "loadanyway" and did MC with my guild. No issues. Some people were having trouble staying logged in, maybe related to their mods.. but everything was smooth for me.

The third boss was killed, but I haven't heard of anything actually saying the gate is fixed, or any screenshots of it properly opening. Some guild on our server is claiming it won't open for them and they just downed the 2nd boss.

fuck that. back when shit wasn't instanced (i.e. when games were dialed to a speed higher that "retard") patch day was THE day to play. mobs up everywhere. shit i used to clear my calendar on patch day.

now with instancing, it's like zzzzzzz same ol same ol. no reason to rush. no competition. no fire.

I'm guessing you never played a bard, then.

hah no shit. i cant believe im thinking back fondly on server instability, but it ruled.

i remember... december '03? there was a week when the server crashed 7 times in 4 days. we did like 5.5 clears of VT in 4 days. hellish and wonderful.

god memory is a warped thing.
